Click to listen to the WGCU Cover Story: The biggest immediate need for an autism family, post-hurricane, is clean clothes. Families might have suspected that, but an organization that works with autism families, called Family Initiative, knows it for sure.
Organization co-founder and president David Brown said they recently conducted a survey of local autism families:
“Access to clean laundry was the number one thing. Fifty-seven percent of the families said that to us, that that would be their number one priority,” said Brown. “And the number two thing, which I’m sure is not a surprise to anybody, was access to Wi-Fi.”
